Subbers, there's something that needs to be said...
Y'all KNOW how much I appreciate and respect you; and I don't want to run any of you off; but there's something going on we've forgotten or gotten away from.
In the past, we were ALWAYS careful to protect the newbies. Heck even the oldbies, lolol; but now we're on the verge of becoming just another pump board!!
I know, I know, those are tough words, but here's what I feel has happenned.
We've gotten away from our "watch list" and "catching the runs", in favor of trying to predict the runs using charts, news, rumor, and just plan ole pumps. Now, ALL these things NEED to be looked at, but I recall celebrating, yehaws and yippees, when we caught one early. That was enough. Electronic high fives, and WTG's a plenty. We ALL made money and life was just great.
We're STILL making money, but it's NOT the same. We have newbies buying into stocks after it's gone up 100% because some chart says so, because some poster is SAYING it will, not because it IS.
Charts are great, don't stop, but we GOT to remember a chart follows a stock. Something has to happen first BEFORE it's recorded on a chart. A chart is NOT a crystal ball, guys!! Yes we can see the trend, but DON'T forget a filing can come out, an SB2, S8, a DEF14 reporting a R/S....any number of things can happen to these pos stocks we trade to make what a chart says totally off, in a matter of minutes. Admit it,.....please!!
Then we have people posting an .005 issue is gonna, "run to .10 IMO!!!" or "if it hits .02 it'll go to .05 "NO DOUBT!!!" while the inexperienced, and even some veterens are sucked in and in the end sell at a loss.
We've GOT to stop this, Subbers. Let's go back to watching what we say. Let's develope our watch stocks, then when they start to increase, we post the yippees!! and All Rights!! The "here she goes!!" It's a hell of a lot more fun when everyone is in....not just one or two.
There's a LOT of stocks to watch out there, and we do one hell of a job at it, but this is NOT a competition. This is a team of Market watchers, catching running, cheep stocks, and sharing them at the right time with their friends...the rest of the team.
I'm always reminded of that old Huey Lewis, Smuggler's Blues. The part that says, "...I'm sorry it went down like this. Someone had to lose!! It's the nature of the business, it's the Smuggler's Blues". Well to be honest, the OTCBB is like that also. Someone out there HAS to buy at the top to allow the others to sell there. I just don't want to have to KNOW any of them. I want the Subbers to have been out and on to the next one, WITH A POCKET FULL OF MONEY, BEFORE it get's to that point.
Can ya see what I'm trying to say??
Newbies STOP ASKING where do you see this one going to? Just keep reading. You'll see post of sells.
Vets STOP SAYING. "I see this one as a 20 bagger at least!!" There's people out there that BELIEVE and CLING to EVERYTHING you're saying!! Please have some compassion on them, and DON'T mislead 'em. Even by accident.
Let's help each other?? No threats of deletes, or the need for PM's of tone it down.....
I'm guilty also. Heck I've posted my auto-pilot's set to sell at so & so. That gives the impression it'll get there, to a newbie. So this ain't no Youse guys/gals ain't as good as me, speaches. I'm gonna stop also!!!
I hope y'all understand. I'll shutup now.
Opinion's ARE welcome.......but please...be gentile?? lololololol

We'll Get there. Just you wait and see....
(Posting news is what I do. It DOESN'T mean I own it!!:-)
